Wildwood microwave drawers

Under-counter microwave…Wildwood homeowners believe it is the way to go!

As cabinetmakers working with homeowners in designing their new kitchens, the perplexing question of microwave placement is almost always one of their concerns.

The easiest, most effective and least costly option is an Over the Range Microwave with a built-in ventilation unit, but it also the least attractive to kitchen design. This type microwave is also generally associated with less expensive kitchens/homes.

Wildwood Cabinetry has lead the charge advocating microwave drawers for several years In homes of all budgets and sizes. Homeowners are more educated today and many have already researched a microwave drawer prior to meeting with us.

One of the best features of under-counter microwave placement is being able to tuck it out of main sight when entering the kitchen. Presently 8 out of 10 of our homeowners we work with are opting for microwave drawers.

Sharp is the leader in this technology. The microwave fits in a cabinet below the counter and with a push of a button the entire unit opens. The wow factor comes when with a push it automatically smoothly closes….very cool! The controls are easily viewed and accessible.

NOTE: the 24″ and 30″ models have the exact same sized microwave chamber.

We have a traditional counter microwave located under-counter in our home and for our family works it great. Locating the microwave under-counter has many advantages and a traditional counter model microwave with trim kit will look great and work well.

Most homeowners when seeing both applications, feel the Sharp drawer models are just a touch more refined. If we were replacing our home microwave or building a new home, we would most likely buy the new SHARP microwave drawer model.
